Why did he rate this film so high? / NOT a zombie film!

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2016)

Currently, at the time of this writing, you could count on one hand the amount of movies I have rated as ten stars. Why such a high rating? There are many reasons why I rated this film as having ten star quality. Here's a few:
1) Never, at any moment during this film, did it become predictable.... I was on the edge of my seat for the entirety of it's duration. Being a fan of horror movies, this is a big deal for me.
2) It's realistic: Diseases on our planet mutate. This is factual. There are some that mutate from being spread by physical contact, to being spread through the air. In other cases, diseases that once could only infect one species, mutate in order to be able to infect other species'. This happens on our planet. The writers of this movie dare to ask the question, "what happens if a truly terrible disease, like mad cow disease for example, jumps to the human species?" Don't worry, this is not a spoiler.
3) This movie will make you feel every type of emotion possible. You'll laugh during this film, cheer during this film, and cry during this film. It's not just a horror movie, it's a romantic comedy at times, an action flick at times, and even an adventure / road trip feel at times. I'm not familiar with many movies like this one. Which leads to my final point....
4) It's a unique film. Is it scary? Yes, uniquely though. Would you compare this film to many others? No, I definitely would not. It's in a league of it's own, and I CAN'T STAND when people call this a zombie film.
If you're not a fan of horror, I'd still give this one a shot. It's fantastic. If you ARE a fan of horror, it's icing on the cake. Don't pass this one up!
